So we've come to the end of our long winding journey through the CCNP ROUTE exam topics and this is the capstone, this is the where we talk about everything that we've learned over the last few hours. Remember the great times we had and commiserate over the lousy muck we've had to slog through from time to time. So as you'll recall this is one of the three exams required for the Cisco CCNP Certification. The other two are the Cisco CCNP Switching and Cisco CCNP Troubleshooting exams and those titles are also available through VTC and yours truly will be the instructor for them. We started off with Planning and Documentation and we all know how us as engineers love Planning and Documentation, we just want to jump in, hey give me the routers, give me the switches, I just want to jump in and configure it. However we also found out that you don't plan to fail, you fail to plan and never is that more true than when you're dealing with large routed complex Inter Networks. If you don't have everything planned and everything vetted and everything set just so, Murphy will come to live in your attic and you will bring down your entire network and have people screaming at your door for the next week for every little thing that went wrong. We then moved onto EIGRP. We showed you how the EIGRP Process figures out the best routes, how to get around the Inter Network, how it establishes neighbors, how to configure those neighbors and then we moved onto some of the more advanced topics like how to run EIGRP over Frame Relay Networks. We talked about how Split Horizon can be an issue on certain types of Frame Relay Networks and then we moved onto Summarization and how you pretty much want to summarize yourself, you don't want to depend on the Auto Summarization feature in EIGRP, because it only summarizes as Classful Network Boundaries and if you turn that off then you can summarize on any router anywhere in your organization to cut down on the size of the Routing Tables and the Routing Updates that fly around the network from time to time. We then talked about EIGRP Authentication and how to make sure that the router that you think you're talking to is actually the router that you're talking to how to prevent rogue routers from coming into your routing domain and just sucking all your routes out and learning about more about your network than you really wanted to expose to them. Then we moved onto OSPF and boy what fun times we had with OSPF. We put it up in a mock lab and we got it working. We did the very basic set up, just stuck it all in Area 0 and showed how everything worked. We talked about the Designated Router and the Backup Designated Router and how they're only used when you're on Broadcast Mediums like Ethernet Networks or certain types of Frame Relay Networks. And then we moved onto the more advanced topics where we talked about Frame Relay Networks and how to set up Non-Broadcast and Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Networks and how you had to manually configure some of the neighbors on some of those topologies. We talked about the various LSAs, how they're advertised throughout the OSPF routing domain and what they actually do. We talked about Area Types and how the different types of Areas filter out the various types of LSAs and thereby reduce the size of the Routing Tables inside those Stub Areas and Not So Stubby Areas and Totally Stubby Areas. And then we moved into Redistribution. We talked about the basics of Redistribution, what it's for, what it does, how it works, put it up in the lab. We talked about Route Maps and how you can specify that certain Routing Protocols will be Tagged as they come into the other Routing Protocol that Redistributing into so therefore you don't Redistribute the Redistributed Routing Protocol back into the original Routing Protocol. That can get really messy. And then we talked about Route Manipulation when you Redistribute and how you can filter out certain routes based upon whatever criteria you're little fevered mind can come up with. We then moved onto the big daddy of Internet routing and that's BGP. We gave it a very brief overview and stuck it up in a lab. We talked about External BGP and Internal BGP and how EBGP modifies the Default Route or modifies the Next Hop Route as it's advertising amongst EBGP Peers and that IBGP doesn't and that can create some issues if you're advertising from EBGP into IBGP. We then talked about Multi Link and how you have to use Loopback addresses to get routing to work properly over a Multi Link Connection. We talked about Route Selection and how BGP chooses the routes that it chooses, why it chooses them and how to modify that Route Selection and other tweaks. You remember we did the get off my lawn section of the course where we kicked all of the ISPs off, of Access Routers so that they wouldn't route through our network to get to other ISP networks. And then we moved onto IPv6. We gave an overview and put it up in a lab. Showed you how to assign the IPv6 addresses to the Interfaces in our very simple lab. We troubleshot the Neighbor Advertisement and the Neighbor Solicitation Process and then we set up RIP Next Generation to route between networks without us having to put Static Routes everywhere, and that's it, that's the end of the course, and that's where we're at now and I hope you had as much fun going through this course as I had creating it.
